Description

Application monitoring system and application monitoring method

The present invention relates to an application monitoring system and method, and more particularly to a monitoring system and method for monitoring whether an application is a dangerous application.

Users can download various applications to smart phones, computers, etc. via the Internet or other means. Some of the downloaded applications may be dangerous applications. When users use these applications, they may lead to the disclosure of important information. For example, if a game program needs to enable network access to run normally, the game program may be a dangerous application. Running the game program may lead to the disclosure of personal information. The use of a dangerous application to launch may result in the disclosure of important information is usually run in the background, the user does not know.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide an application monitoring system and an application monitoring method.

The application monitoring system is applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device is installed with a plurality of applications, and the operating system of the electronic device records the need for the electronic device to be applied to the operating system when each application is installed. All the usage rights of the opening, the electronic device stores a record table, and records all legal usage rights required for the electronic device to be opened when each application runs. The application monitoring system includes: an acquisition module, in an When the application is started, obtaining, from the operating system of the electronic device, all the usage rights that the electronic device is required to be opened when the currently open application is running; and a determining module determining the acquisition mode according to the recording table Whether one or more illegal usage rights exist in all the usage rights acquired by the group; and an execution module performs a protection action when one or more illegal usage rights exist in all the acquired usage rights.

The application monitoring method is applied to an electronic device, and the electronic device is installed with a plurality of applications, and the operating system of the electronic device records the need for the electronic device to be applied to the operating system when each application is installed. All the usage rights of the opening, the electronic device stores a record table, and records all legal usage rights required for the opening of the electronic device when the application is running, and the method includes: when the application is opened, from the Obtaining, in the operating system of the electronic device, all the usage rights that are required to be opened by the electronic device when the currently open application is running; determining, according to the record table, whether one or more illegal uses exist in the acquired usage rights. Permission; and when one or more illegal usage rights exist in all of the acquired usage rights, the protection action is performed.

The application monitoring system and method of the present invention can monitor whether the open application is a dangerous application, and perform a protection action when the open application is a dangerous application, thereby preventing the dangerous application from causing loss to the user.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the application monitoring system 10 of the present invention is applied to an electronic device 100 in which a plurality of applications 30 are installed. The application monitoring system 10 is for monitoring dangerous applications in the electronic device 100. The operating system 20 of the electronic device 100 records all usage rights, such as network permission, camera open permission, Bluetooth permission, etc., that are required to be opened to the operating system 20 when the application 30 is installed. The electronic device 100 also stores a record table 40 that records all legal usage rights that the electronic device 100 needs to be activated when each application 30 runs. In this embodiment, the user can know from the provider that provides the regular application that the normal application needs to be opened by the electronic device 100 during operation, and write the usage rights into the electronic device 100. These usage rights are legal usage rights required for the electronic device 100 to be activated when the regular application is running. There may be a dangerous application in the application downloaded from the website or through other means to the electronic device 100. In addition to the legitimate usage permission required when the dangerous application is running, the electronic device 100 needs to open the corresponding formal application. In addition, the electronic device 100 is required to open other usage rights, and the opening of other usage rights may cause important information leakage. For example, a regular A game software runtime requires the electronic device 100 to turn on sensor permissions. When the user downloads the A game software from a website, in addition to requiring the electronic device 100 to open the sensor permission, the electronic device 100 is required to open the network permission, and the A game software downloaded from the website is a dangerous application. . In the present embodiment, the electronic device 100 is a smart phone having an Android system.

The application monitoring system 10 includes an acquisition module 12, a determination module 14, and an execution module 16. The specific functions of each module will be described below in conjunction with the method flowchart of FIG.

In step S301, the acquisition module 12 acquires, from the operating system 20 of the electronic device 100, all the usage rights required for the electronic device 100 to be activated when the currently open application 30 is running.

In step S302, the determination module 14 determines, according to the record table 40 in the electronic device 100, whether one or more illegal usage rights exist in all the usage rights acquired by the acquisition module 12. When there is an illegal use right, step S303 is performed, otherwise step S304 is performed.

In step S303, the execution module 16 performs a protection action. The execution module 16 can output a prompt message, prompting the user that the currently open application 30 is a dangerous application, or directly masking the currently open application 30, so that the user cannot operate the application 30. Further, the execution module 16 further calculates, according to a preset rule, the risk factor of the one or more illegal usage rights of the electronic device 100, and performs an action related to the currently open application 30 according to the calculated risk factor. In one embodiment, the preset rule is that the risk factor is increased by 10% for each additional illegal usage right. In other embodiments, different usage rights correspond to different risk factors, such as a risk factor corresponding to 10% of the camera usage rights and a risk factor corresponding to 30% of the network usage rights. In this embodiment, when the calculated risk factor is less than a preset value, the execution module 16 outputs a prompt message to prompt the user that the currently opened application 30 is a dangerous application, and the calculated risk factor. When it is equal to or greater than the preset value, the currently open application 30 is directly masked.

In step S304, the execution module 16 notifies the operating system 20 to normally run the currently open application 30.
